Sports Betting

New Zealanders love their sports betting, which stands to reason, given that the country is known for its excellent performance in many classic sports. One can hardly mention cricket or rugby without also mentioning that New Zealand is one of the top competitors. In fact, some would say that New Zealand virtually dominates in almost every sport it competes in, which is no small accomplishment for a little island at the corner of the globe.

Many New Zealanders love to show their support for local teams by placing bets on games, which can be done now easier than it has ever been before. With the advancements in smart phone and internet technology, sports betting has become a breeze. All that is required is an internet capable smart phone, some starting funds in an account, and a bet maker can be placing bets in literally seconds of time. Lets have a look at you can turn your smart phone into a portable sports betting station.

Which Phones Work?

Every smart phone is capable of accessing the internet, which means that every smart phone should be capable of accessing online bookmaker websites. It doesn’t matter if your smart phone is a top of the range monster, or a more modest older model, you can still get in on the sports betting action. In order to start placing bets, simply visit a bookmaker website via your phone’s web browser. The website will load and allow bets to be placed. Remember to make an account first, which can also be done via your smart phone.

Also keep in mind that many bookmakers offer free applications which may be downloaded to your phone. These will offer much more streamlined and convenient access to the website, and should also work on just about any smart phone. Remember to download the Apple or Android version as is required, and to ensure that enough space is available on the device. Once the application is downloaded, simply tap on its icon to start placing bets.

Which Sports May Be Bet On?

Many New Zealand bet makers jump straight to the rugby and cricket sections of a bookmaker’s website, which is great, but keep in mind that there are many other options when it comes to sports betting. Every sport you can think of will likely be supported by a good bookie website, including those played on the other side of the world. Take the time to browse and you may just find some interesting sports you never even knew existed.

Depending on the website in question, however, your sports betting may be restricted to those supported by the bookmaker. If you are looking for a particular sport or match and cannot find it, you may have to browse a few other bookmakers. There is no limit to how many accounts you may have at the bookmakers you choose, so feel free to go crazy and make the online sports betting world your oyster. Keep in mind that good online bookmakers will even offer free streams of sports games that you may watch right on your phone.
